So I've decided to take part in this years charity boxing, yes i may be mad but I'm doing it to raise as much money as i can for a charity that is very close to my heart the Angus young carers.  They gave me and my family so much help and support over the years and i feel its only fair i give something back so they can help out other children and give them the break they may be needing, so please guys dig deep and help me raise as much as i can for such a brilliant charity and hope i win my fight :):)

A young carer is someone aged 18 or under who helps to look after or support a member of their family due to:

• Physical or learning disability
• Mental illness
• Physical illness
• Drug or alcohol problems
• Chronic or terminal illness

The person the young carer looks after might be their mum, dad, brother, sister, grandparent or any other person close to their family. They may look after the person all by themselves or they may help someone else. Many young people don’t even realise that they are a young carer.

Young carers may cook, clean, do shopping, look after brothers and sisters, give medication, help with washing and bathing, or even just keep someone company. Every young carer’s situation is different – it is not necessarily the amount of care undertaken, but the impact that it has on a young person’s life.

Sometimes, a young carer may experience difficulties as a result of their caring situation. They may find it difficult to find time to do things that other people their age do, like homework, go out with friends, or enjoy themselves.

so please people dig deep and help me raise as much as i can for such a brilliant charity :):)
